To register a boiler, pressure vessel, a pressure piping system, or a boiler fitting, within one of the provincial jurisdictions, what is required?

To register a boiler, pressure vessel, a pressure piping system, or a boiler fitting within a provincial jurisdiction, it's essential for the chief inspector to review and approve the design drawings. This requirement is fundamental as it ensures that the equipment meets the safety regulations and standards set by the jurisdiction. The chief inspector's review is a critical step in the registration process, as it guarantees that the design complies with existing codes, ensuring safety in operation and adherence to regulatory requirements.

The other options do not align with the registration process specific to provincial jurisdictions. For instance, while the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) provides standards and certification for pressure equipment, provincial regulations typically necessitate local oversight rather than direct submissions to ASME for registration. Similarly, having a quality control program is usually a requirement to ensure safety and manufacturer accountability, thus it's incorrect to state that it is not needed. Finally, while the Canadian Standards Association (CSA) has its standards, it does not directly approve designs for registration; compliance with regulatory requirements is overseen by local inspections and approvals.
